About me.

I am a highly trained and experienced practitioner dedicated to supporting women’s well-being through a holistic and regenerative approach. With a background spanning education, public and maternal health, and clinical lactation, I specialize in holistic care; creating safe and transformative spaces where women can reconnect with themselves, navigate life transitions, and cultivate lasting healing. I consider myself a “mother worker” rather than a “birth worker”! Committed to creating meaningful change, I also lead initiatives that support families, and am an outspoken advocate for the mother/baby dyad.  

I am a USAF (ret.) spouse, mother, and bereaved mother. I live and work in Florida with my family.

My professional credentials include:

International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) (with experience in hospital, pediatric, community, WIC, and private practice settings, including specialized training in tongue ties)

Perinatal Mental Health Certification

Trained Childbirth Educator & Postpartum Doula

Bachelor’s in Family Studies

Master’s Degrees in Public Health & Early Childhood Education

Certified Life Coach 

Trained grief facilitator 

Principles of my work

1. I honor rhythm over urgency.

I respect the body’s pace—mine and my client’s. I do not rush healing, bonding, (or milk!). I allow time for unfolding and integration.

2. I center relationship, not just results.

Mothering is relational, not transactional. I prioritize presence, connection, and trust before protocols or outcomes.

3. I practice from wholeness.

I honor you as a whole being. I hold space for grief, pleasure, trauma, power, and transformation.

4. I honor capacity and consent.

I offer guidance without pressure, and I check in about what’s truly possible right now. I do not push someone to override their limits for the sake of an ideal.

5. I trust the body, even when it’s struggling.

I hold reverence for the body’s intelligence, even in challenge. I partner with your wisdom—not just my expertise.

6. I tend to the emotional soil.

I recognize that birth, infant feeding, and healing work often stirs up grief, rage, shame, and joy. I make space for those feelings, and I don’t pathologize them.

7. I challenge extractive systems.

I name and interrupt the ways capitalism, racism, and patriarchy show up in care of women—whether through marketing, inadequate support, or systemic neglect

8. I rest and replenish to sustain this work.

I do not martyr myself in the name of care. I make space for my own grief, embodiment, and regeneration—because my presence matters.

9. I work with the ecosystem, not against it.

I understand that every person and family is part of a larger ecology—cultural, relational, historical. I tailor my care to fit their environment, values, and capacity.

10. I believe in collective thriving.

I contribute to a culture of shared learning, collaboration, and mutual care among parents and providers. I don’t gatekeep knowledge or power.
